Chapter 138: One vs. Three (Part 1)
Boom boom boom.
The whole building was shaking and a cloud of dust rose from the corridor.
The floor was creaking with the sound of people stomping on it, and employees in work clothes and long boots rushed in from all directions, their faces twisted into purple eggplant color.
“I can’t stand it anymore!”
"It hurts—my stomach hurts—"
"Get out of the way! Let me go in first—"
They rushed around the corridor with their belts held up, their faces full of pain, almost pushing their thin colleague out of the guardrail.
Click.
Zero-intake video, she clutched the stair railing before the anomalies surged in. She wrapped her right arm around Xiao'ai's waist and leaped to the side, landing directly at the corner of the upstairs corridor. She watched coldly as shadows clattered towards the broken circulation center.
Xiao Ai in his arms trembled slightly, her voice filled with the guilt of having done something wrong. "Are they safe?"
"It's okay." Zero put his arm around her shoulder soothingly, lines of simulated data flashing in his eyes.
These anomalies were in a state of poisoning, and the Anomaly-Master must have wanted to expel them from its "body" as quickly as possible. However, it did not dare, because once the barrier was opened to allow energy to flow to the outside world, the Knights of the Church could rush in at any time.
Therefore, it can only try its best to digest them through internal circulation, consuming its own energy to convert the poisoned anomalies into new non-toxic anomalies.
The entire process will not only cause additional energy loss, but also bring about a long period of weakness, which is a great opportunity to seize the mark and defeat the overlord.
The expert panel's opinion echoed her conclusion. Ling lowered her head and said softly, "It's okay if we order randomly. We'll first go to the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Food for their recommendations."
Now the stairs leading down were empty, and Chen Xiao'er followed them to the stairs in a daze.
How can we get a recommendation? The two supervisors must be extremely worried right now. If they knew the truth, they would hate us to death.
She glanced back down the hallway.
Sinaya, shoulders hunched forward, hands in her pockets, walked among the crowd with a snarling grin, like a lion patrolling its territory on the grassland.
Due to the existence of "chocolate", people around her didn't dare to get close to her body. They scattered in all directions like water, leaving a certain pervert to sway alone.
Chen Xiao'er put her hand to her mouth and shouted: "Xinnaya - find a place to take a shower quickly -"
Xinnaya turned her head and leaned lazily on the railing, which scared Chen Xiao'er so much that she quickly moved away for fear of being splashed with something.
Seeing her embarrassed look, this rich second generation with bad temper smiled with his fangs showing: "You beg me?"
Chen Xiao'er stomped her feet in anger: "Who asked you for help! Let's go." She took Ling's hand, and her legs kicked and stomped as she ran like a deer, and soon disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Huh. The smile on Xinaya's face disappeared instantly, and a layer of flames rose from her body, burning the scattered foreign objects to ashes.
Tick.
A drop of blood-colored liquid fell from the flames. The devil dipped his finger in it, placed it on the tip of his tongue, and sucked it. "How strange! Why is Chen Xiao'er afraid of food?"
They are obviously all energy. Didn’t you enjoy killing them in the past?
…
Beep-beep-beep.
The monitoring center was abuzz with activity, and no one cared about the demon's rampant hunting. It was hunting anomalies, not humans, so whatever. Just mark a red box on the map and tell students not to go there.
"Where are the students? Where are the students?" Someone suddenly questioned loudly, because the student troops could not be found among the twelve screens nested on the big screen. There were only a few scattered figures attracting the monster group.
They'd been so focused on Chen Xiao'er and Zero's movements that they'd neglected other aspects. Could it be that all the students in Class A were wiped out?!
"Please be patient." The white-haired expert nodded his forehead, his eyes reflecting the light from the screen. "They should be quite far away from Chen Xiao'er's area of influence now, making it difficult to track them... Let's focus the camera on a few Supervisors."
"Director?" The assistant immediately understood what the instructor meant: the Director of Security had been sealed, and the Director of Operations had hidden in the innermost layer after the chaos broke out, refusing to come out even under punishment. Therefore, the key was the Director of Health and the Director of Food!
He turned the broadcast-style knob twice, switched the screen twice, and finally found a face familiar to the students: Lin Lang, who had transformed into a wolf, was moving back and forth among the monsters, and his big claws slapped down heavily with a whoosh!
…
"Lin Lang, over there—" Xing Shuyao's vision was clearly black and white. He found the long gray snake at once and locked its position with a laser pen.
"Ouch~" Lin Lang let out a long howl, and his sharp wolf claws scraped across the ceiling, pulling out pieces of alienated partitions along with the sticky tentacles that looked like spines!
"Hiss!" A thick snake-headed man fell from the roof. An ID card was nailed on its arm, which was the symbol of being a supervisor.
"Hiss~ This is my territory!" It threatened the humans with its hoarse voice. Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to its threats and still had smiles on their faces.
Would I be afraid of you, a drowned rat? Goodbye.
The snake man immediately realized that this group of people had no fear at all. He did not want to fight, but retracted his head and swelled his body into the flat shape of a snake, swinging his tail and trying to drill into the sewer.
The humans' encirclement was loose; they hadn't yet used any space-blocking artifacts. The slender snake-man quickly found an opening, curled up his tail in delight, and leaped vigorously—
Crack!
The snake's head banged hard against the glass.
Before the snake man could get angry, smoke suddenly rose from under its body.
What followed was a series of red flashes, which condensed into thin lines in the air, entangled with its long tail with a hissing sound, and stuffed all the thin lines into the gaps between the scales.
"Order." Zheng Lu pressed his hands to the ground and uttered short guiding syllables.
The next second, the red line tightened, and a spurting blood line was brought out.
…
The large screen in the monitoring center transmitted this scene synchronously, and many people smiled knowingly: the magic is really useful.
There are also a large number of "cultists" within the Church of Light.
However, these cultists are different from those in the wild. Most of them are pseudo-believers, and they establish connections with "gods" only to draw on their abyssal power.
Of course, deceiving the gods is an extremely dangerous act.
It's okay if your level is low and the time is short, but once the level of your supernatural power is increased and you continue to do this for a long time, there will always be a day when you can no longer deceive others and you will be exposed offline by angry gods or believers.
However, the divine art of extracting the power of the abyss is so useful that the Church of Light still maintains a number of "believers" with considerable talent, paying a certain amount of sacrifice for them in order to achieve a relatively safe and long-term power exchange.
"By the way, which god does this student believe in?" someone asked casually.
His colleague rummaged through the computer and quickly found Zheng Lu's file. "She believes in a blind god."
Blind God? He hissed, "Isn't that a weak God? Last time, there was even discussion about whether to downgrade it."
In the eyes of the people of the Church of Light, the classification of abyss creatures is quite strict.
Although the Blind God was also a resident of the fifth floor and had technically escaped the level of giants, it was still no match for the real big guys. Using the classification method used in legends, others were true gods, while it was a false god; others were high-level divine powers, while it was a low-level divine power.
The power that a weak god can provide to believers is even weaker. No matter how strong Zheng Lu's divine talent is, it is difficult for her to exert the power she just displayed to such a weak god.
"You're right, the strength of that binding spell is not normal."
My colleagues stared at the monitors. The students on the screen took advantage of this opportunity to drill several holes into the snake-man's body. The red thread was like a thorn in his flesh, unable to be shaken off, and constantly drifting towards the core.
If Zheng Lu's talent and the sacrifice substitutes she offered could make up for the gap in strength, the priority of the binding technique she used was too high.
He frowned, moved the mouse outside the interface, and prepared to label Zheng Lu as "doubtful".
"Wait." A colleague raised his hand to stop him: "It must be because of Chen Xiao'er. Look, she's here."
The golden-orange light spot approached quickly, and Chen Xiao'er's pixel man and No. 0 were about to meet up with the classmates.
Yes, she seems to have the superpower of weakening enemies and boosting allies? He was distracted for a moment and moved the mouse away.
…
“Hu~ha!”
After receiving the text message "We've caught the head of the Ministry of Health, come quickly!", Chen Xiao'e ran so hard that she was almost out of breath.
Ling silently picked up her waist, held the handrail three times, and flipped over, landing steadily on the fourth-floor platform.
She thought she would see her classmates surrounding the head of the Ministry of Health with a gloomy face, but the reality was - it seemed similar?
The head of the Ministry of Health struggled desperately under Lin Lang's knees, his face as black as the bottom of a pot. He couldn't help but feel dark, as even his legs were tied up with jump ropes by the students, making him look pitiful no matter how you looked at him.
Oh, how can we negotiate like this?
Chen Xiao'er looked at everyone and then turned her attention to Xing Shuyao, hoping that this classmate would use her advantage in rhetoric. Instead, Xing Shuyao smiled and gave her a thumbs up, as if to say, "I'm counting on you."
Alas, there is no way. Student Xing is in poor health and cannot escape being beaten.
Chen Xiao'er had no choice but to shuffle her legs and walk slowly to the head of the Ministry of Health. She whispered, "I want to see the factory director. Can you give me a recommendation?"
The supervisor snorted and said gloomily, "Why should I give it to you? What's the benefit?"
Well, there's really no benefit.
For the middle management of the factory, anyone who came to investigate was a nuisance, not to mention that we really caused a lot of trouble.
Chen Xiao'er spread her hands helplessly. "It's a mess outside, and the toilet is so dirty. You need to find someone to clean it up quickly, right? If you're willing to recommend me, I'll let the students let you go."
She was prepared for rejection, even if she had to threaten him, she would have to get the recommendation stamp. Once we got the four stamps and met with the factory director, the rest of the legal matters would be left to the school.
"real?"
"I knew it... huh?"
The head of the Ministry of Health pushed himself up and asked eagerly, "If I recommend you a chapter, will you really let them let me go back to cleaning the toilets?"
Hey, is this the self-awareness of the head of the Ministry of Health?
Chen Xiao'er nodded: "Yes~?"
The moment she agreed, the snake man saw the scroll stretching out in the void. He hurriedly raised his hand and threw the mark over: "Deal! Here you go—"
Sensing the repulsion of the rules, Lin Lang did a backflip and rolled off the snake man, watching it shake off the red lines on its body and fly away.
Chen Xiao'er picked up the stamp on the ground and smiled helplessly at her stunned classmates: "People in society are really amazing, ha, hahahaha..."
